Sir, I think I might have told you this already, but I'll do it again anyway. If you increase the pen sensitivity, the tablet will receive the signal from the pen, from a longer distance. Which means, the cursor will appear on your screen, without letting the pen touch the tablet. Like this, you will see where the pen is, and it will be easier to draw on non screen tablets. Try it out :)
Thanks for the tip!
realy? its not doing that with me. its just for pressure sensitivity
@@tt8463 Maybe you are looking at the wrong settings, or maybe it doesn't have it anymore..
@Sai Animatez probably. U need to look at the tablet settings, and watch for pen sensitivity. Not pressure. Something with sensitivity
one thumbs down for this video! misinformation not good for first time buyer. seeing the cursor is the most important thing! i almost ignore this product hadn't I see SDL's comment
I just love when the tablets come with a drawing glove, I think its really handy
Idk if this is a joke but if it is I get it lol
Gaomon tablet is cheaper and comes with gloves
Omfg, is that a pun?
Yes, yes it is
@@pufthebirb throw the glove away?
watching these videos makes me remember how broke i am but it always satisfies me for some reason (:
Same hehe
Exactly
Yes
Yup
OMGG SAMMEE✨ btw i started watching digital tablet reviews so i know how to manage with my xp-pen artist 12 getting delivered here :>
I love the “glove dance” and “technical difficulties” cut scenes 🤣
SAME 🤣
It's what we're really here for.
Me too!
I think I’m gay
At 1:15 the tablet hovers and sets itself on the table 🤯🤯🤯
Good eye. I set it on the cover the box was wrapped in. It was light weight cardboard so it slowly sank down.
mmhmm, Brad is probably a Hogwarts graduate
@@thebradcolbow hah, thanks.
@@clementinelives probablyy 👀👀
yess, i thought someone is helping brad to put it out 🤣
Xp pen are my favorite beginner tablets because they literally have professional settings in such a affordable tiny thing lmao. I have the line version of that one.
Is this better then the 03 deco ?
@@crizzud9176 Definetly not unless you really want the Android compatibility. Deco 03 is wireless and also has a dial which is probably the most important difference
Is it durable
Yo please help do you know how to open the xp pen nibs holder thing where the nibs are suppose to be placed
@@shawarmaman907 Are you refering to 01 or 03 model?
I use one of the xp-pen's other android-compatible tablets for my everyday drawing and I think it improved my workflow a lot. I've never drew on any screen tablet tho, I'm just saying that if you want to get into digital art and you enjoy using android apps, this will definitely be good enough until you save money for your dream tablet or whatever.
Hi, do you happen to know how much battery it takes up using a tablet plugged into an android?
@@TheHulksMistress I don't really know tbh, I'm sorry. I also think it depends on both of your devices.
@@nadseny.botanik no worries, thanks for the reply
can it play osu?
@@zoloko911 I don't have any experience with that, but I believe so.
I got this exact tablet for Christmas. As someone who never done digital art before, I can say I'm very satisfied with it. The size of it is amazing and the high sensitivity to pressure is great.
can it play osu?
im still in the search for the correct drivers so, i will update about it later.
@@zoloko911 wacom one is better for osu, i think
I'm using this product for 3 months now.Impressively It's good overall.
Same here
Me tooo
Does it connect to an iPhone or iPad?
@@manonb8129 most pen tablets don't connect to iOS devices as of now, but there are alternative standalone pens you can look for instead
Does this product come to Malaysia.. because I want to upgrade from huion.. this is more awesome bro..
This really helped me make my decision, I decided to get it a month ago and it works very well. Its very compatible with my computer and no visible lags whatsoever. I didnt have any complications with installing the driver either. Overall im more than happy with the tablet as a beginner just starting out, thank you
Glad Brad saved me again. I was just looking for a pen tablet and I know what to do.
Me:*counting all my money*
Me to my bestfriend: Get in loser we're going shopping
I just got my first drawing tablet today. And I'm using the one on this video. Very impressive
I just bought the XP-pen artist 12. I am in love with it, while ive never used anything else xp pen, id say the artist 12 is a good first impression
same.. waiting for my xp-pen artist 12 to arrive.. 👌
Artist 12 was my first drawing tablet too. I was asking google is there other choices than Wacom and voila, xp-pen website is the first result. Placed all my saving on this bet and it was a win. I’m in love with it. Good quality, reasonable price and good customer service.
@ジャス / jasu still working great!
I was waiting for this for so long time
I don't know why I'm watching this considering I just sold my drawing tablet because I plan on upgrading to a pen display on black Friday.
I guess the design intrigued me? Drawing tablets have come so far in the last few years, it's crazy! I remember when every chinese drawing tablet was literally just a Wacom intuos knockoff.
same here, i sold mine for an ipad but still watch this anyway 🤣
And yet Wacom drivers remain crappy
xp pen started off in japan
I just got it. It's amazing, I've never used a graphic tablet ever, but setting it up and changing the button mapping was so easy. And it was so much easier to draw than with a mouse or stylus on my fire tablet.
Mine should arrive on monday, can't wait to try it out! Do u preffer using screen protector or no?
@@elithevil3633 i do, love the texture of it. Plus, I don't want to scratch it
Hey there! Can you please confirm if you hover over the tablet with the pen while drawing, you can see the cursor on the screen? I can't find information regarding this. In this video it never actually shown that you can see it either. Would appreciate your answer.
@@marklorant1906 yep
I use a non-display tablet & computer connected to a 49" 4K TV and a long USB cable extension for fun laid back sketching. I also have trouble with fine inking switching back and forth between that and tablet display devices. But for blocking out things and general composition it rocks!
bought this some months ago for 3D sculpting. this is awesome pen tablet for the price! Good alternative for expensive wacom tablet.
Brad, you must be maddening at Christmas. My wife opens packages like you do. JUST RIP THE PAPER! 🤣
I have the same one thought buying it might've been a mistake, thanks for correcting me.🙌
8:08 I see you paimon
Ah, I see a man of culture
Yes brad is reviewing the deco 01 v2
I was very encouraged by this review to buy this tablet, to replace my Intuos 4, the deco tablet was great but it has like a dead zone of 0.5X0.5 cm areas of drawing, it wasn't much deal but it was getting annoying by the time you are colouring, that your pen stops responding when drawing fine details while zoomed out. had to get a replacement eventually. it's a good tablet but I was pretty annoyed with my faulty one, I replaced it with an Intuos pro-small. now I'm drawing using two tablets above each other :D , the Intuos 4 large and above it the new Intuos pro-small :D
ive been using this for a month now it is really good to draw with!
can it play osu?
Woooow what a great timing! I was considering on buying this as my first budget friendly drawing tablet!
Thank you so much for reviewing!!!
Same. I don’t want to buy anything expensive for my first tablet, so this might be a good option 🤔
@@lluvami same
did you end up buying it ? I have ordered it.. .waiting for it now
@@SaiyaraLBS it’s been 9 months is it good? I wanna get my first tablet and this might be top option
I have had it for a few months. Great tablet! 😁
i have the v1 that i bought in 2018 and its still working fine i love it sm
Man this looks great! Was in the market for a beginner tablet, this looks like the move.
Extremely helpful. Thank you!
Just ordered a model . Hope it helps me a lot in the art journey thank you for the detailed review
Hey, so how is the tablet? whats your impression, im planning on getting one as well.
@@sleazyfox8937 It's great a No Brainer Deal ☺
@@ankitagarwal5245 Thank you, i will go for it then.
@@ankitagarwal5245 how is it doing now?
can it play osu?
First time got a video that have much actual real details about the product
Eu amei esta mesa, me atende muito bem, funciona no programa de animação, quando eu desenho nela me traz uma sensação boa,ela é uma das melhores mesas que eu já tive
I had this from 3 years, it's Awesome .The socket where we put wire is damage because of my mistake so it's not working but after some repairs it will work another 3 years. Everything else it's a good . Well if you are buying go for blootooth, deco3
I have one of these and will attest to the struggle being real adapting to this coming from pen and paper. It can be done but do expect some "difficulties" if coming from more traditional drawing with a pencil into your sketchbook.
Great review, bought one I use it for business use and notes and it is awesome, if anything it is a bit too large so unless you are into Art I would rather buy something much smaller. As for the lines wobble, it depends on the software, with Paint 3D or my fav. Autodesk sketchbook it is just fine.
yessh i have this model too to start practicing my digital drawing
Great review, thanks. I just got this and am ready to try it out.
Pinay sexx c and the rest
thats great! I was thinking of buying this tablet for animations :) now i will
I bought a Deco 01 ver. 1 back in January and I'm very happy with it. It has amazing pressure sensitivity and it works out of the box in Linux.
What tablet are you using right now? And how is it?
@@aimeey4343 Hi! I'm still using it to this day, and the tablet itself is working fine. The usb cable on the other is another story. I had to replace the usb type-c cable a couple of months ago since it became kinda loose. Other than that it is still working as intended.
Hi Rafael! Do you think wobbly lines is a reason for not buying and afford a wacom one CTL medium size will be better? Pls help me man am so confused.
@@Amin-xj9yh Hi! Sorry but unfortunately the only Wacom I've tried is the Wacom Intuos so I can't speak for the Wacom One CTL sadly. However if yo're on a budget, I think you should go for either Huion or XP-Pen. Both offer great products for cheaper price than Wacom. It's better to have something you can practice on so you can build up your skills, then just upgrade to a graphic display monitor (Wacom Cintiq, Huion Kamvas, XP-Pen Artist) once you finally save up enough for one.
I love it...my dad brought it for me months ago...if you want something in budget and awesome...it's totally for ya😊
I just bought this recently and I love it
Can you tell me more about your experience? I am thinking about buying it :v
It's work on Adobe animate pls tell me
It's work on Adobe animate pls tell me
@@smsgh3862 oh nevermind, it probably don't.
The best purchase i ever made. I had cintiq 16 before using this. Use a display tablet made me tired especially my shoulders and neck. So i bought this around RM90 (around 18-19$) here in Malaysia and currently enjoy using this one.
Brad uploaded a video on my birthday yay
I know I am 3 years late from the video release date. But I am still a beginner and this video helped me make a decision on purchasing the product.
Great video and loved the glove dance😅
I'm so excited I'm getting a tablet soon
I have this same tablet and I love it. Good review.
It's work on Adobe animate pls tell me
Having a hard time making a choice here. As a Linux user, my two only real options seem to be Wacom and XP Pens. Sadly, good reviews in this industry, and especially for these brands seem to be hard to come by. It's very easy to tell how awful their marketing practices are. They're very shameless about what they have reviewers do. Glad to see you've got a review up though, you seem like a good source.
Its also good for drawing, especially tracing images, my dad bought one for work but I tend to use it a bit too :)
My xp pen just delivered right now. 😍 it's awesome.!
It's work on Adobe animate pls tell me
@@smsgh3862 Not only in applications, it works in the entire system. Very smooth and easy.
I had to return mine yesterday as it doesn't really work with Mac's Catalina -- I thought it was me and my incompetence, but it turn out it's a rather diffused problem (check online anywhere). XP-Pen driver won't talk to a MacBook Air the way it should and the trackpad takes over the tablet's pen once you install it. So you can't use it at all. Tried several times (uninst/reinst/even did the glove dance...), followed instruction manual, and spoke to producer's support. Even used without installing the driver just with Sketchbook but at that point all functions are not recognised--obviously.
It's a pity because I did like the product. Had to buy a Wacom now. Love your videos, Brad: fun and helpful, thanks mate.
This is the first drawing tablet I ever had and I just got it. It sure is hard to look at the screen to draw but I hope I'll learn
Hey, i got it too and i find that it doesnt register very light strokes. I always have to apply some pressure. I'm new to tablets. Is it supposed to work like that?
I have this and I love it. Also had the v1 but decided to upgrade to the v2 because of the pen. XP pen might have some problem with pressure sensitivity in Photoshop but it can be fixed with a short line of command.
I’m thinking about purchasing one. Does it lag a bit for Ps?
@@bbykaiju Based on my experience, it doesn’t. It works really well on Photoshop.
Finally! I hope u makes more vid abt more affordable tablets since i love ur reviews but.. everything u review is so expensive :" (except huion h420 ofc)
more vids like this please!
Just managed to cop one of these for $52 because of a nice amazon discount, can't wait for that same day shipping later
Learning to draw with your videos :)
I've been looking to start digital drawing, I want to make a comic or manga in the future so I been looking for affordable tablets and found your channel, which is helping me on what to look for. I'm stuck between a Huion or XP-pen
i would say go for xp pen since they actually have good after sale service but when it comes to huion they have very bad customer service and their products are faulty most of the time, i have heard so many complaints against huion its better to go for xp pen since they have good working products and they listen to their customers
XP-PEN or GAOMON
@@Yeeeeeehaw I would advice XP pen but upto u if u want to buy or not
I'm sure someone already mentioned it, but to see the cursor while hovering (to find mark-point), just change Photoshop settings to show the brush tip NORMAL instead of brush tip ACTUAL under Edit>Preferences>Cursors>Painting Cursors. Then you can see the brush at all times. Though I could see it anyway when I used a Deco, so I'm not sure what other setting may be at play here.
The Deco V2 (that's "DECO V2" not "DECO 01 V2") is often on sale for around $75 and it features the quintessential "big red dial." Now that I've used a few XP-Pen devices, the dial has become a huge part of the appeal. Almost all tablets are great, so it comes down to niche needs to find the right one. The dial allows for smooth resizing of the brush to any increment (where as the "brackets" only jump between preset points, skipping up to 500 points when using a hi-res canvas). You can also zoom with it, which means with the dial and one button.. you can now resize your canvas and brush to any increment at any moment. Workflow speed-up here can't be understated.
But yeah, the XP-Pen deco line is my go-to for introducing budget-oriented beginners to the medium. I used the Deco V2 for professional illustration with my mobile workstation before I switched to the XP-Pen Artist Pro 13.3" graphic tablet. It still took me a couple months to sell off the Deco because I got attached to it and didn't want to see it go lol.
It works with photoshop?
@@CASUALVISUALS Yup. Works perfectly.
I bought this about 2 months ago and it's my first tablet. The nibs wear really good and do not scratch the tablet surface. Yes, the first time opening the stand was difficult, but once you get it, it's easy after that. It does work on Android, but I use it on PC with Krita. This thing gets along so well with Krita. The driver is featured and the shortcuts help workflow. The included glove was too small for my hand, but I just use a little baby powder on my hand to help it slide across the tablet much better. :D
When I first got it, I HATED it... BUT... it only took a couple hours to get really good with it. Now, I prefer to draw on the tablet vs analog.
Thanks for the review, and basically confirming I made a good purchase.
Thank you so much for saying all of this now am pretty sure I will buy it too and yes I am also planning on using it on my HP laptop with Krita but can u tell me more abt how it works with Krita am again a little confused and afraid if I should buy it or not
Do you to find that drawing without protector makes you better pen control!?
Hey @MarloPainter i got it too, and i find that it doesnt register very light strokes. I always have to apply some pressure. I'm new to tablets. Is it supposed to work like that?
@@high_on.selenium and how is it after some time?
I have tried it, to my chagrin I didnt realize that membrane was the protective cover, and was dejected at how quickly it got scratched lol XD, happy to say it works well no scratching, and yea that protective cover actually gives a "canvas" look on some brushes, but prefer the bit of the actual surface
thank you! this helped a lot because I'm looking for a nice tablet thats quite affordable, thank you again lol
I have the v1 of this tablet. It was my first tab and it was totally worth it. XP pen after sales service is also really good in India.
Hello. Do you have any idea about the after sales service of Huion and Veikk graphic tablets in India ?
I have one of this for almos a year now, I freaking love this tablet. The problems with losing the pressure I usually have on PS, on CSP works fine for me :)
can it play osu?
dude is it really a must to use protector? i feel when the protector is on, it feels so rough ive always have jittering
@@TheSkyreborn hmm it's a good thing to have, with time the surface had some scratches that "forced" me to use the protector. You'll get used to that surface :)
@@zoloko911 never tried but probably too big for it
this is my first tablet, and its very easy to use on my phone.
just bought it, thank you for the very helpful review!
Hi Brad! Awesome video! Is this tablet compatible on Macos Big Sur?
I hope you do a review of deco 03, I rarely see any reviews of that tablet
i LOVE YOU BRAD!!!
Hi Brad! I'm about to buy this, I think! One question before I do, is there a show cursor option for use on windows?? Cheers!
I have got a deco 03 it's good
i bought a xp pen deco mini 4 yesterday for 60SGD
Hi there! Great Review! ;) would you prefer this model over Huion HS611 that you reviewed some months ago? And does the huion still gives those blobs in photoshop? Many thanks
I bought this about a month ago. I use it with Autodesk Sketchbook and I really like it. Glad to see you reviewing it.
@ZiziCand No, it doesn't.
@Yuimiia Nope.
I recently started using the same tablet. Where you able to configure it to support the "lagoon" in Sketchbook? (not sure if that's the right name - the quick selectors that you can open with shortcut keys) Having read that they only officially support Wacom and the Surface Pen (and was unable to zoom) I gave up and switched to clip studio - but keen to try again if possible
Does the pen come with a charger then ? Or we have to buy other pen ?
@@snowood4293 Nope, it doesn't need to charge at all, but it can only be used with the tablet.
In case anyone haven't said it, your phone may have a setting called OTG Connection which is disabled by default and may auto disable after idle. Try enable it and see if the tablet now works if it didn't before.
I just ordered this tablet for Christmas! I hope it works well as it does in this review and hopefully it lasts a long time. It was on sale so thats why I got it and maybe in the end the investment will be worth it XD
Heyy thinking of getting this, is it a good buy?
Just bought this to do Calculus, hopfully I won't run out of space finally
Ah I liked your Art review you made me have my final decision on which XP tablet I should use as an beginner lol
Yeah this is a very beginner friendly tablet
i have this, i like it. i found out it works when i plug it into my phone, too (Galaxy S8). Nice little tablet.
When you plug it into your phone does the cursor appeared?
@@lianmackenzietv9961 if i recall correctly, yes it did (it's been a little while),
I bought it for the black Friday 😋
I’m buying this for my daughter’s birthday, what’s a good laptop that is good for drawing tablets?
Ooof I was searching for contents like this because I was gonna buy it like months ago 🤣
I can’t decide whether I should get one of these or spend more money on the xp-pen artist 12
There is XP Pen Deco 01 V2 Line Edition
And it's so cute.. 😍
It's work on Adobe animate pls tell me
I feel like I vaguely remember him a few months ago talk about doing videos or updates of him practicing art and following classes but I’ve never seen him do it or mention it after that video. I think he said he wanted to show his learning and practices. Am I missing something? Or did he change his mind
Thanks @brad. Is there any way to set up the tablet where to work? I mean, choosing between selecting the first/second monitor. Regards.
the only problem with getting this for me is, they don’t ship it to where i live :,) i might have to use a mail forwarding thingie
@Sai Animatez im facing the same problem. one year ago when xp pen release it. they priced it 39 usd now its 60 usd.
It's available in my country. I bought one in September for $100. If anyone feel comfortable I don't mind helping you getting a hands on one. (Currently available for 85.88 dollars.)
It's available in my country, but, 88 USD!! Still cheaper than the other ones
I absolutely hate veikk for this sole reason. I ordered A50 on Amazon sale for about $75 for my birthday. I was very excited and after a week of waiting they cancelled my order for which they did not gave any reason why my order got cancelled. I had to contact them and they then told me that they cannot ship their product to my location. I argued that so many products are shipped to my location then why was this not able to be delivered? They just told me to reorder it. But guess what now the same product was selling for $100. I got so pissed off by the sellers attitude. They just ruined my birthday gift experience. 😟
use amazon
The screen protector looks like it's actually meant to be a tracing cover. There was a strip that looked like adhesive to attach it. My big question on all of these things is "Does it Lefty"? Meaning, can I flip it over and configure it in software so the buttons are on the right and the "top" of the device is the upside-down logo.
I love these non-screen digitizers for photo editing. I find my pen/fingers cover the area I am trying to erase/edit on screen digitizers.
I know it's a late answer and you probably already figured it out, but just in case someone else reads this: Yes you can. You can configure this tablet to work in a 0 (normal), 90 (vertical with buttons up), 180 (left handed) or 270 (vertical with buttons down) degree rotation. Between the right and left handed it seems to mirror the hotkeys, so Hotkey 1 will always be the one at the top. But you can configure each hotkey individually anyway.
i have one of this. but id like to see a review on the one with a scroll button
I connected it to my MacBook Air but it disengaged the trackpad so I either use the tablet to scroll on it or disconnect it so that I can use the trackpad. I can use the keyboard when it’s connected but it’s a hassle going between the two. I tried to reset the blutooth but that didn’t work. For $60.00 and some change I didn’t expect much.
I'm gonna buy this
"Oh no I see the glove"😂😂😂
@Brad Colbow I did have a question, im a good artist and im doing digital art and animation quite a bit on chromebook, and i think im going to move to desktop soon, and since im starting to plan on getting my first drawing tablet, does that still make me a new artist? or a hobbiest? this question also will help me figure out whats the right type of drawing tablet for me.
So, I compared it to the Huion G610.
And on the XP I like more the build quality. Smoother edges. Nice pen look on the tip holding part. The USB C plug....cause I am left handed.... a view little things. Overall they both a nice devices .Actually the driver of the XP is awesome. I got 3 screens here and I was wondering if I could set a button for monitor change...and baaaam, right there. Awesome.
I kept this one.
Someone of you misses the touchability?
Just ordered one for 27€, hoping it's good.
Gonna replace my small old very small Wacom Intuos (drawing area is about the sice of my phone screen), since it's just for my hobby and I am bad at drawing the cheap price is a big plus.
I use this for my everyday drawing.
Whoa really? is it durable?how long have you been using it?
Is there a setting for left handed persons
@@Aprianex thanks
XP-Pen is actually a very nice product. I've been using XP-PEN Star G640S and draw everyday since July and it's still in pretty great shape. I connected it into my phone, tablet & laptop and having no problem this far.
Totally recommended for artists, and affordable too :D
Imma go but it and thank u so much for recommending cuz I was in a dilema uk if I shud buy it or not but it's pretty clearer now
May I ask the type of laptop and OS?
@@quiwiaie7997 I used it on 2 Asus Laptop, core i5 (windows 7 on Sketchbook Paint) and core i3 (windows 10, Clip Studio Paint), and it's has nice pressure sensitivity.
@@pulsatingblueart4670 Oh ok, thanks!
What tablet are you using now?
It is so strange when Brad talks about that Wacom doesn't have that jitteriness and shoestrings... I've got a bit old Intuos that has all those things. It did cost me 300euro couple years ago. I feel I've been tricked, when I bought it. It was one that came with wifi module with in the box. I think that was first model to have it included. That was long time ago.
My intuos had horrendous shoestringing
Hi Brad, which is the best budget drawing tablet (10×6 inches or something big) that you would recommend for digital art (and also comes with a good stylus and accessories etcetera)
How i wish, i had those for my upcoming digital comic😌
